That's why you need to bring high-powered bombs for situations like these; it would be easier to negotiate then...

-- I appealed to reason. After all, I'm not asking for much. Just to let my friends and me go. And everyone will be happy; you will continue with your mission, and we will continue with ours. Forgive the soldiers. A note for the future: it's not a good idea to attack everything that moves; it might fight back. No, I'm not against putting down the weapons, but I would like to get guarantees first that we will be quietly and without any fuss released...
During this conversation, Zutter subtly tried to hypnotize the Vaironian, suggesting that this was indeed a good outcome. Of course, first, he needed to demand that this "rat" at least put away his weapon and raise his hands, blah blah blah. But the main thing is to calmly release him and his friends, and return their captured equipment.

Zutter subtly tried to hypnotize the Warlock.

Zutter failed to do so. However, he was somewhat lucky, and no one noticed.
— I'll count to three, after that my team will open fire, and not only you and I will die, but also your comrades. One.

"Stubborn. Unfortunately, I wasn't joking either."
With a precise movement, Zutter finished off the commander of his (now definitely) enemies and unleashed a wave of fear through the ranks of his soldiers, without affecting his own team and the elves in the cage. Then he rushed for the key card (helping with the teleporter if needed): he had carefully observed how his "friends" were being locked up and had familiarized himself with the procedure, albeit from a slight distance. Now he had to quickly release all the prisoners. Yes, the important thing here is that he releases everyone.

Mara, realizing what Zuthar was planning, tried to rouse her fellow inmates so that they would be ready to break free as soon as the door was opened.

Among the prisoners, some were ready to run at the first opportunity, others were afraid to even move, but no one even thought about fighting. The very last one was still lying unconscious.

- Okay, let's go.
If an item is within sight, it will be picked up.

It would have been better if you had posted the original video, Vissy, instead of this low-quality version with terrible music in the background.

I didn't know there was an original video.

Having freed as many as she could, Mara herself climbed out of the cage and, grabbing her swords, prepared to help Ernst in the battle against the mercenaries.

With music like that, it would only appeal to cute nerds sitting on beds under blankets. But we have hardcore stuff here: mercenaries, machine guns, thugs, children being shot – all of that, in my opinion, goes much better with dubstep.

executions of children

and old women.

Then he should have thrown a dubstep gun from the SR, not some cross-eyed cutie, that would be perfect for those nasty, low-life mercenaries.

-- Run! There won't be another chance! -- he said to the crowd of hags, -- or you'll be slaughtered right in your cages.
"Of course, it's better if they're slaughtered outside the cages. Much better..."
Zuthar attacks the soldiers, starting with the fifth, with his new sword. He tries to maximize its paralysis ability so that the enemy performs as few actions as possible. He is counting on the screaming crowd of elven hags to distract the soldiers who can act, to make them take the bullets and lasers, and thus give him more time. He also plans to use the paralyzed soldiers as cover against the non-paralyzed ones when possible.

Mara picks up her swords.
Irene retrieves her weapon, runs to the exit, and finds that the steel door blocking the entrance is still closed. There is an identical panel on this side, which Ernst managed to destroy earlier. The passage towards Frostgard is blocked by the same door.
